Public bug reported:
In the KDE Input device dialog, I have checked
Advanced -> Caps Lock key behavior -> Make Caps Lock an additional ESC
however, the new KDE keeps forgetting this setting when restarting /
undocking. If I disable, enable and then apply, it works again. The
setting is always set in the config dialog, but the keyboard is not
configured correctly.
I have attached logs of xev, setxbkmap, and xmodmap for when things are
not working (despite the setting being set) and after I re-apply the
setting as above. The relevant diffs are these:
